Common use of Joint Election Clause in Contracts

Joint Election. As a condition of the exercise of the Option, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions (the “Employer NICs”) which may be payable by the Company or the Employer with respect to the exercise of the Option or otherwise payable with respect to a benefit derived in connection with the Option. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to execute a joint election between the Company and/or the Employer and the Participant (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and any other consent or election required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer NICs to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or its Affiliates. If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election prior to exercise of the Option, any purported exercise of the Option shall be null and void without any liability to the Company and/or its Affiliates. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or its Affiliates may collect the Employer NICs from the Participant by any of the means set forth in Section 4.10 of the Plan.
